A journal on what it's really like living in a house that is over a hundred years old and surviving the remodel of a kitchen with too many doorways, and it's plywood floor - someday I'll have real flooring I really will I promise.
And having a vegetable garden that is 80% in heavy shade!
We got an All American No 7 at a rummage sale. It looks very similar to yours. We did not get any instructions with it and have not been able to find them online. I can only find instructions for the new models which seem different. Does this model use a weighted gauge? Or does it just use the dial gauge? Do you have the instruction manual? Any way you could scan it and email it to me? I don't want my wife to get blown up trying to use it. She is anxious to get her food stores under way. Thanks.
Here is a link to a great site on pressure cooking/canning, and it has some manuals for all american canners as well. I, too, have an ancient one that I got at a yard sale. Not all that sure how it works, though. The manufacturer seems to still be in business.
This one has a stop cock instead of a weight gauge, not sure what the difference is and how one would figure the pressure.
Standard pressure gauge atop the lid.
Top of the All American 930 Pressure Canner, it holds 14 quarts.
